Hello, Dolly
November 20-23, 1997
Dolly is a busy-body matchmaker type, who likes being in on everything and knowing everything there is to know about everyone she meets. Can’t dance? She’ll teach you. Need a husband or wife? Dolly’s a great matchmaker. Need advice about anything? Dolly’s the one to go to.
But she’s finally decided to settle down herself, and goes after her own match after convincing him that the match she originally made for him is not really a very good choice.
by Michael Stewart with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman
